Does anyone have firsthand experience? The Verizon SIM uses a weird auth protocol that also checks the ESN of the phone to authenticate on a roaming network. This is nonstandard and something I would guess typical rom builders wouldn't even know about.
I know I could use another SIM but I particularly need the unlimited data plan that's attached to the vzw/vodafone stock SIM.
Thanks!

There's a hotfix for Fission 2.4.3 that claims to make the SIM work correctly. I haven't been out of the US since I installed it though, so I can't confirm anything.
Could you point me to the thread with the hotfix? I'm not seeing it in the main fission 243 thread. Thanks!

You download it from within the Fission ROM Manager.
Ah ok thanks!

Is there anyway to see more details on this? Googling produces no trace of explanation and I'd like to see the code or at least a written word before I install the rom. If it doesn't work I will be screwed since I only use this phone for roaming via the Verizon SIM.
Thanks

To be clear bot just a "use SIM " hotfix but one that works with the weird vzw sim which is the only way to roam on the GlobalData plan. I do not want to use any other local sim.
Thx

It works fine. I have tested it. Rogers Canada sim/service/location.
Tested with the original vzw sim? A Rogers sim wont work the same as the vzw SIM

Could always make a complete Nandroid Backup - then if the other rom doesn't work you can restore the nandroid backup. That way you're safe no matter what, right?
Or can you not do that on Motorola Devices like we can with HTC/ clockwork mod custom recovery?
@thesuperman - There is clockwork - yes - that's how you install custom roms (or should i say rom) Also - there is always SBF available if you want to go stock. Easy.
@BobbySteel - Verizon users have reported using Fission with Verizon SIM outside US. Too lazy to look up the exact post now - just read thru the forums.
A coworker of mine recently won an Electrify in a raffle. She currently has the Nexus S with Sprint service. She wants me to unlock the Electrify for her so she can use it with Sprint. I know this phone is pretty much the same as the Photon - minus 4G. Can I simply flash a Photon rom on her Electrify? I'm sure it can't be that easy, but I had to ask. I know someone at Sprint who might be able to activate it for her on their network, so that's not a concern. Any suggestions? Thanks!
think the electrify uses gsm, sprint is cdma or vice versa lol
I thought they were both cdma? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I know I did flash a sprint rom once on accident? And it prompted me to call sprint to activate the phone. I think its worth a shot but someone else here will know for sure.

Yeah they are both cdma. The problem is that the esn is not in sprint's system and therefore cannot be activated. Would cloning be the only other alternative? I know that's a touchy subject but I'm just saying. I don't need a lecture on the legal issues of cloning.
When i screwed up my photon and ended up flashing the electrify sbf pudding. I was able to flash it with the full electrify sbf and then i put on the 1024.zip or the skinny4g rom and it connected to sprint just fine.
If it was mine i would unlock it and install one of those roms and give it a shot, you can always reflash it back with the sbf anyway.

See but your photon is a sprint phone and was already activated on their network. This phone is a us cellular phone and therefore has never been activated on sprints network. Even if I flashed a sprint rom the phone wouldn't be activated on a sprint account, so the network wouldn't recognize it, if it could even communicate with the network.
There are ways just none that will be talked about openly on the forum

Forgive a newbie on changing networks with phones (this is my first global phone), but cloning?
Sent from my TWRP-a-fied OC'd CM7 Electrify.
Not necessarily cloning. Just taking a clean ESN from, say, an old Sprint phone and swapping it with the Electrify's ESN. That way, Sprint sees the ESN on the network and thinks it's the old Sprint phone instead of the Electrify. Cloning an ESN allows you to assign the same ESN to multiple devices. It is illegal if your intent is to defraud. However in this case, I would be taking an ESN from a Sprint phone which is owned and out of contract and assigning it to the Electrify, also owned and out of contract. This is the CDMA equivalent of unlocking an iPhone from AT&T and using it with T-Mobile. Carriers frown upon it, but it is no longer illegal. So I'm not sure why everyone seems to think ESN swapping is illegal. It's not cloning unless you're using multiple devices with the same ESN, right?

Unfortunately CDMA WS is battling the Electrify. It refuses to connect to it. It's late enough and I've got to work in the morning, I'll go round 2 tomorrow.
Just buy her a Photon. Unlock the Nexus AND Electrify and put each on Flee-Bay for $275 each!
If anyone has experience with CDMA workshop, would they PM me? I'm about to give up on this thing and tell her to sell it!
here's what I would do, first call sprint and say "I have a Motorola electrify and sprint service, can you connect my phone to sprint?" They will probably say no, than you go to an actual sprint store, and say "can you activate this phone on your network?" They might say yes, mainly because sprint has this phone as the photon, you are a customer, and there recently have been rumors that the company is open to activating galaxy nexus phones. But when asking them be confident and talk to them like you mean it. Its a small thing, but the more confident they are the more likely they are to help you! If all else fails, than you may try your hand at cdma cloning, so good luck and happy holidays!!!

Where are the radio choices for this phone? are there any? i havent seen one!
My friend has had the photon for a while and he has always complained about dropping calls, or sms's not going through, I just got done rooting and unlocking it, flashed CM7 and he said it is worst. Anyone out there got some suggestions?
What version build is on the phone?
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
well, im not exactly sure what was origionaly on it but I know it was 2.3.4,
but now it has "[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team 4-23-2012" on it.
Hmm, is he using it with sprint or another carrier like cricket?
I would just flash him back to stock have sprint update his profile and prl.
And if everything is fine flash custom roms.

Be careful letting sprint update your phone. Once you update to 2.3.5 you will be stuck with a locked bootloader till someone figures out how to unlock it. The basebands (radio) currently used by most roms is the one from 198_7 which is 2.3.4. As far as I know there are only 3 basebands for the photon and none of them make that much of a difference in reception if any at all. Currently 198_7 is your golden ticket for any kind of xda support.

Been using KANG CM7.2 since the beginning on a non sprint network in India. Never had a problem. The rom is almost stable. 99%... And i neither had an issue with the network data nor call drops.
There's a network selection option in
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Preference right ??
I have a photon on Verizon and I get 1-3 bars in my basement and once in a while I drop a call but when I leave the basement I get 3+ bars ALL the time. Are you sure you or your friend has strong signal at all ( if possible try another sprint phone).

The photon has one of the best, if not the best radio of all sprint phones. Unless he is in a bad area for sprint then I don't know what to tell ya.

Updating the PRL and Profile is totally different from updating (upgrade) to 2.3.5.
I see the point of the suggestion to update profile/prl, it can make a difference in call/reception quality.
For those who are concerned about going back to stock for profile/prl updates there is another way. When on rooted stock use an app such as TiBu and freeze the upgrader/updater apk's. Then create a nandroid backup. If you need to go back to 198_6 or 7 for whatever reason you are safe.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
Well looks like hes SOL, when he first got it I did update the prl and profile and it didnt do much. Figured a custom rom would help. But his photon is on sprint, and his girl has the same exact phone and she has all the same exact problems he has. Like droped calles, and also the phone became very sluggesh over time, one of the worst phones i've ever used, and i've used at least 15 or 20 different android phones on all 4 major carriers foor a substantial amount of time. Sorry to say it, but its just my opinion. So... I think its just a bad area concidering the evidence. But anyway, hes been away for a few days and I cant get to the phone so I can't check anything. Thanks for the reply's though.
no solution is currently available to use 3g once you ics
even if you have a verizon 4g sim
even beigephone can't come up with one without a 4g chip as of this writing
more of verizon locking down their phones
depending on the rom some will work with 4g but these is a trick to it, try searching the forums
I had no problem putting my razr maxx with ics on pageplus
Just had to reflash it was up and running in less than 10 minutes
Can not get mms to work
I have talk text sms and 3G
sent from my DROID razr max on pageplus
Wardcst : Can you give more info on how you flashed?
Did you do a OTA to ICS and then flash using CDMAWS? Was it a paid version?
I have a Razr, flashed using Beigephone, on stock GB ROM. Havent upgraded to ICS yet but would like to if I can do it myself and get 3g and dont have to send it to Beigephone. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks!

they're reflashed for free in the past. although i don't expect it this time
its cheaper than the alternatives in the long run. could have gone to V ported to prepaid for one month then port back to ppc and see what happens. would cost me more than 50 for that
one no one seems to know what bp does different unless they have the uber expensive software that can do more than cdmaws. maybe just a bug in the phone from the update....who knows...

I used qpst and DFS I don't have cdma workshop
there is a thread on howard forums post 11 tells how
you do not have to use any cut now there is a *#*#4636#*#* for phone info to change the radio to lte cdma evdo
I did the over the air as a tester for motorola simm has to be in for data to work I have no mms
In menu settings about phone status it does not show phone number or prl but when I read phone in qpst or DFS all info comes up
Phone works great though I have not factory reset it not sure if that makes any difference or not
I went from stock rooted 181 to the OTA ICS used voodoo root keeper and restored root after the update and worked perfect

Yes for Data you do or it will not work
So pltctytc, were you able to install ICS and get data working on Pageplus with the 4g SIM card?
I have the 4g SIM Card that came from Verizon in the phone and if i remove it, data doesnt work on GB and goes on roaming mode. Putting back in, data starts working again.
I was thinking of safestrap and install an ICS leak on the safe-side but what I have read is that you have to have ICS on the non-safe side also. The other option is safestrap and then install the stock .181 on the safe side and then try and see if it will OTA update from it to ICS. If anything goes haywire, i can go back to the non-safe side.

beigephone said i needed the 4g sim to get it working now with ics. $15. i have no idea what info is on the sim. maybe it just acts like a key and you'll be good
i don't mess with leaks and safestrap etc. i take the authentic ota's and keep rooted. on my dx i did sbf's but not with the maxx
its just verizon locking down 'their' phones

hi,I have the same issue any advice?
Hello Community,
I recently purchased a used HTC Droid DNA on eBay. The user couldn't tell me very much about the phone beyond describing it's exterior condition to me. I didn't have to play with this phone for very long before I realized what a pleasurable device this would be to use, especially for someone upgrading from a Motorola Bionic. HOWEVER, it also wasn't very long into my usual customizations that I realized, that like my Bionic early on, doing anything fun on this phone is a son-of-a-*****.
I want to eventually root this phone, flash Cyanogenmod, and then flash it to Pageplus Cellular, but first things first. I really don't want to wait 5 days for a AT&T SIM card to get here from Minnesota or wherever, so does anyone know of a way I can tell if this device is already unlocked? Perhaps someone knows of an application or some other software than can tell me, or maybe there is something in the phone's settings? Anything at all would be nice.
Thank you,
Jack2402 =)
If you boot into the boot loader (turn off device and hold power and vol down) it should say s on or s off. That's the best way to tell, you are looking for s off. Moonshine will get you unlocked and s off though really easily
Hit thanks if I helped! Check out my site at www.circuitsaviors.com
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you telling me how to unlock saftey? Isn't that different from unlocking the SIM so I can flash it Pageplus? Or am I confused. Forgive me, I've rooted several phones and I've flashed one phone but I've never had to unlock one because I usually purchase them from sellers who already know there're unlocked.

It's sim unlocked. Your best bet is to wait for your sim to arrive put it in and just change the apn settings to match page plus to get mms. Once you do that you should be good to go.
As for flashing and rooting it's actually easy thanks to beaups and the moonshine process he created for getting s off.
Head over to the development section and it's stickeyed
Run moonshine and follow the easy steps and you will get an s off phone and unlocked bootloader. After that load a custom recovery and then back up with a nandroid backup and flash any rom or kernel of your choosing.
If you need any help with that feel free to PM me and I will be happy to help you.

Actually, for the last year or so, every LTE device that I've been aware of from VZW has come SIM unlocked, included DNA and Iphone 5. I think VZW isn't too afraid of people leaving, and if they do, they have a nasty ETF they can hit you with. And ding your credit if you don't pay it. And if you already have bad credit, then VZW already has a hefty deposit. So, yeah.

It's not quite that easy to get mms working. Verizon's stock ROM uses a whitelist for APN types and will not allow a MMS APN at all, you can enter the settings but they will be lost and MMS will NOT work, spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T support working on this very issue.
If you're going to use the DNA on a GSM carrier for daily use, it's best to flash something like NOS M7 GSM version as this will allow the proper APN to be set up and mms will work. Once I switched to a ROM meant for GSM carriers, I have found MMS to be 100% reliable.

Actually, Pageplus is CDMA, not GSM. Would that make a difference?

It probably would, yes. You threw me off when you said:

I really don't want to wait 5 days for a AT&T SIM card to get here from Minnesota or wherever, so does anyone know of a way I can tell if this device is already unlocked?

Not really sure HOW it works with pageplus. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, I see. No, what I meant about the AT&T SIM card was that people use differing carrier SIMs to find out if their phone is unlocked. I didn't want to wait on eBay to send me an AT&T SIM to see if my Verizon is unlocked.

You will need to do some digging to find a guide (or pay for a service) to flash it to PagePlus. The ability to flash from Verizon to PagePlus is unrelated to the locked status of the SIM slot. I believe you will only get 3G on PagePlus, as well.
Yes, the SIM slot is unlocked for use on GSM carriers, but that won't matter if you're looking to flash to PagePlus.

Yeah, I flashed my Bionic to PPC myself using CDMA Workshop but never got better than 1x data. I'll probably end up paying $60 to have it flashed remotely if I can't find someone who can help me one-on-one because the threads I've read go on for days and never seem to end =/

I find that hard to believe seeing that Verizon locks EVERYTHING up so tightly.

I find it hard to believe that some DNA users such as yourself are still unaware after owning the phone that its called a Global Phone for a reason.
